The initial model was implemented, evaluated, and improved for 3 rounds until the appropriate model was identified; 3: Implementation of the model and evaluating its effectiveness regarding 1) 21st century skills of the students, 2) students’ satisfaction with the model, 3) instructors’ opinions towards the model, and 4) approval of the model by experts.

An evaluation of  model effectiveness revealed that EREC IF model could improve the 21st century skills of the nursing students. The students were satisfied with the model and the instructors agreed that the model could be used to increase the 21st century skills of the students.  All invited experts also approved the model. The model should be expanded for further implementation in nursing education in order to produce nursing graduates in response to the needs of society in the 21st century.
